Manage all plants within Flourish's Cultivation Module.

  • Refer to the Florida BioTrack Propagation help document for instruction on how to create clones, plant tissue, and seeds as well as how to plant plants.
  • Refer to the Florida BioTrack Harvesting help document for instructions on how to harvest plants and manage the drying and curing process.

Plant Barcodes and Syncing

The BioTrack STS system generates plant barcodes. When a user creates the plants, Flourish sends the relevant information to BioTrack. BioTrack returns the barcodes as the Plant IDs.

  • Total Scheduled for Destruction alongside your other plant counts.
  • Active plants clarified: Active = all plants not marked “Dead” or “Scheduled for Destruction.”
  • Survival rate accuracy: Plants scheduled for Destruction are treated the same as Dead for survival rate—i.e., they’re not counted as “survived.”

Plants Screen

Data

This screen is available in Vegetation, Mother, and Flowering phases. Here are some tips on how to best use it.

This screen includes the Origin data for the plants to make it easier to locate the Origin of the plants by using, for example:

  • Origin Plant ID
  • Origin Group
  • Origin Package ID
  • Origin Lot Number
    The image shows the "Plants in Vegetation" screen within Flourish Software's Cultivation Module, displaying a data table of individual plants with columns for Sync Status, Plant…
    Actions
  • Use Ctrl/Command + click to select multiple rows or to deselect selected row.

Plant Phases

Flourish groups plants into three phases within the cultivation module. BioTrack considers immature plants (clones) as inventory, and they are tagged with a package tag and managed within the inventory module.

  • Vegetation Phase.
  • Mother Plants.
  • Flowering Phase.

Plant Movement

Use the "Move Group" or "Move Plant" functions to move plants between Vegetation, Mother, and Flower. BioTrack doesn't restrict plant movement. Flourish expects all plants to be in a "Group," so the application will prompt to "Split Group" if moving individual plants in the application.

Package from Plant

Use the "Package from Plant" menu option to take clones, plant tissue, and seeds into inventory. More details are in the Florida BioTrack Propagation help document.

Clone from Plant

Use the "Clone from plant" menu option within a Mother group or Mother plant (or any plant marked as a "mother") to create Plant IDs directly from a plant in Cultivation. More details are in the Florida BioTrack Propagation help document.

  3. Manage the waste using the Inventory Destruction workflow.

Destroy Plants

In BioTrack plant destruction is a two-step process. When you schedule a plant for destruction, Flourish will hide these plants form the active plant group screen and list. These plants are techincally still "active" in BioTrack. Flourish will mark them as destroyed after the required waiting period. In the interim, the plant can be "unscheduled" and restored to an active status.

Plants remain in "scheduled for destruction" 72 hours and then are "destroyed" in the system.

Schedule Destruction

  1. Select the plants to destroy
    The screenshot shows the Flourish Software Cultivation module's "Plants in Flowering" screen with two plants selected, displaying columns for Sync Status, Plant ID, Strain, Area,…
  2. Confirm the Date, enter a Note, and select a Waste Reason.

This is a final action and can't be undone. Flourish will automatically complete this process after the 72-hour waiting period.

  1. Select the plants that are currently scheduled for destruction
  2. Use the Destroy Plants menu action to complete this process
  3. View the Destroyed Plants in the Inventory > All Plants screen by using the filter for "Dead" plants
Destroying a plant doesn't record waste. Use the Action > Record Waste to generate a waste package in Inventory to take through a destruction workflow, if required.

The screenshot shows Flourish Software's Plants screen filtered to "Plants: Active," displaying vegetative plants in the "TRIDWG-041726-1-C-DEAD" group that are marked "Scheduled…

🔍 Find and Resolve out of Sync Plants

If a plant is destroyed in Flourish Software but shows as out of sync, it means the destruction did not complete successfully in BioTrack. The plant is considered destroyed in Flourish, but it still exists in BioTrack until the sync is successful.

A successful sync will update BioTrack and mark the plant as destroyed there as well.

  1. Go to the Inventory module.
  2. Click Plants/All plants.
